BMW unveiled its 2012 DTM challenger, the M3 during the special event that was held this past weekend in Munich.
The new, 2012-spec DTM cars are expected to be safer than ever before. ITR chairman Hans Werner Aufrecht, together with Christian Schacht on behalf of the DMSB e.V., and the heads of motorsports of Audi, Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, BMW, Jens Marquardt and Mercedes-Benz, Norbert Haug, presented the concept and the safety structure of the DTM cars from the 2012 generation.
Next to the highest technical standard, the cars have an optimised carbon fibre monocoque and a roll-cage of rigid steel. Moreover, every car has six crash absorbers designed to give the drivers additional protection at the front, at the rear and on the sides.
